ultras67 Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 I remember speaking to someone last year who was out here at the time it went to 90+ to the pound. He transferred more money over and had himself a lot of bangs for his bucks ( pounds ) Before that crisis was it not trading fairly stably around the 50s mark ? Since then I seem to recall its been around the 57-61 range over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Gun Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 For the 4 years I was there before the crash it hardly budged from 40 to the £, 25 to the $. Sadly, I was paid in baht and it took a bit of a while for my salary to do anything like recovering. Then again, prices certainly didn't rise very quickly either, for anything apart from, inevitably, imported stuff. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli13 Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 now look at that: 06/17/1997 37.990bt=1£ 01/25/1998 91.36920bt=1£ so much difference in little more than 7 months. who earned a lot of money or got a lot of cheap pussy at that time? unfortunately I hadn't even been to thailand yet until june 97 & didn't get much value for the 'crash' down in singapore!!! actually this incredible value for the GBP seems to be an isolated case as other european currencies never enjoyed such a value or even fluctation? why???

Guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 I was there with a German girlfriend when it was 91 to the £. It was a pleasurable and relaxing experience. The two month trip extended to four plus months and the money still hadn't run out. I was paying for both of us!(She was depressed and needed a break, so I invited her) Our one way flight back to the UK cost £105 and that wasn't the cheapest airline. A flight to India was little more than £30. Those were the days. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 According to www.xe.com ; 68.9012 THB to 1GBP Though that's all very nice, though with the Euro firming up against the US dollar and the British Pound. I am a little concerned that there will be selling of the GBP when it hits the psychological barrier or GBP 0.70 to the Euro.(It's 69.7239 pence at the mo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
